OutThink’s aim is to tackle the issue of human risk in cybersecurity, which is one of the two biggest risks of our time (as stated by the World Economic Forum). We believe traditional cybersecurity awareness computer-based training approach is outdated – 90% of data breaches are a result of human errors. We’re putting the human at the heart of security operations at many leading brands and pioneered the world’s original cybersecurity human risk management platform. We’re now on our way to building a world-class software company and are backed by leading VCs including Albion, TriplePoint Capital and Molten Ventures. While early-stage, we count some of the world’s largest and prominent companies as customers including VINCI, Whirlpool, Anglo Gold Ashanti, Danske Bank, Rothschild & Co, and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
We believe in empowering people to substantially reduce risk. Achieving that mission is only possible by bringing the best people onboard OutThink. As such, we’re looking for an ambitious Human-Centric Security (HCS) Specialist to join our team and work closely with Lev Lesokhin - EVP Technology & Analytics at OutThink.
This is a unique, tailor-made role for a human-centric security professional to embark on a rewarding journey of evangelizing a software product that truly revolutionizes how security teams enable human-centric security practices and help reduce cyber-threat vulnerabilities within organizations.
What you’ll do
- Spearhead evangelization initiatives. We're a young, up-and-coming company, and we often playfully refer to ourselves as the cybersecurity industry's hidden gem. Our awareness and adoption starts with education. This will be through a trust-based, value-add and consultative approach to working with security leaders in enterprise organizations. You’ll be at the forefront of education, through hosting of webinars, Q&As, and facilitating rich dialogue and discussion on the topics of human-centric security and cyber human risk management amongst the community we serve.
- Consultative solutions design. We present tangible value to our customers - of having human-centric security embedded into their organizations to manage their cybersecurity posture. Our buyers are intelligent and face a myriad of challenges in their roles. As the Human-Centric Security Specialist at OutThink, you’ll play an active role in leading this consultative approach from the first interaction with these enterprises. We meet our customers where they are, both figuratively and literally, guiding them on the journey to improved human-centric cybersecurity.
- Thought leadership and product feedback loop. You’ll be the eyes and ears of OutThink, representing us to the organizations that we’d love to serve as customers. You’ll appreciate this privilege as an avenue to build or further enhance your position as a valued thought leader in the human-centric security space, and ensure the customer feedback loop is maintained through active dialogue with our product, engineering and other go-to-market teams.
- Support the Cyber HRM Forum - The Cyber Human Risk Management Forum CHRM (thecyberhrmforum.org) is an industry group initiated by OutThink to develop the CHRM Framework and host roundtable discussions among individuals who are knowledgeable and passionate about human-centric security. This forum needs a lot more support than our current staffing allows and can be a significant contribution to the cybersecurity industry at large.
- Support with scaling operations, systems and process. As an early-stage employee, you’ll support company leadership with building pragmatic internal processes that support our stage of growth.
- Anything else that comes our way. We’re a growing start-up and we’ll look to you to be agile and occasionally step outside of your swim lane.
Your background
- First and foremost, a great attitude. We’re pioneering on new frontiers. You’ve got the right attitude towards a sense of urgency, risk and uncertainty about the future that comes with working at an early-stage start-up. This is an opportunity to be involved in an exciting journey and be a core foundational team member.
- Human-centric security thought leader. You’re experienced and well versed with the human-centric security space, with over 15+ years of experience. You’re excited about guiding the direction it has in organizations and transforming a discipline into tangible value. You want to be at the forefront of evangelizing a market-leading product with the most prominent enterprise organizations across the world.
- Relevant experience. You have several years of experience constantly exceeding goals and targets in the cybersecurity awareness space and are ready to take the plunge into being a part of building a consultative-led team from first principles.
- Proven excellence. You have a strong educational foundation, ideally holding an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in computer science, communications or relevant cybersecurity principles. We value people who can demonstrate a track record of exceptional performance - whether that be academics, sport, professional, or another domain of interest.
- Collaborative working style. You’ve got a background in being an effective team player with excellent interpersonal and communication skills. You’re able to work collaboratively in diverse, cross-functional and distributed teams.
